Thoughts on Bamako, Bienniales, Bread and Butter | words on art

https://wordsonart.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/thoughts-on-bamako-bienniales-bread-and-butter

Thoughts on Bamako, Bienniales, Bread and Butter. November 23, 2009. The eighth edition of the biennial Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie is currently on display in various venues around Bamako. Wish I were there. The announcement and call for entries express a desire to expand the exhibitions’ audience. (I am happy to report that the curators are both women, Tunisian and Italian, respectively, and about a third of the artists are women.) But at least one Malian artist. I’m not saying this b...

Works in Progress: Objects and Life-as-art | words on art

https://wordsonart.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/works-in-progress-objects-and-life-as-art

Works in Progress: Objects and Life-as-art. October 17, 2010. Description: Left, a view of basically Anselm Kiefer’s backyard in France, where he has built what he calls a “gesamtkunstwerk” or all-over artwork of teetering concrete towers and stacks of oversize lead-paged books. Right, a scene from a recent production of Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute,” with sets and animated projections by (my total fave. Others of great significance struggle. Objects have their own kind of histories and it is a real a...

Speed-Appreciation, or Chardin | words on art

https://wordsonart.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/speed-appreciation-or-chardin

Speed-Appreciation, or Chardin. August 5, 2009. I read the recent piece in the NYT. About how no one stops and actually looks at things in museums. Pausing instead just long enough to snap a photo (increasingly with unnecessarily professional-grade cameras), the crowds breeze through the hallowed halls. Edward Winkleman touched on it. Also last week, I read a really lovely quotation of Diderot in an essay by Arthur Danto on Chardin:. To show evidence of our taste, class, and intelligence? But without any...

https://wordsonart.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/coincidence-yinka-shonibare-and-18th-century-women-intellectuals

Yinka Shonibare and 18th Century women intellectuals. June 6, 2010. What I want to suggest is that there is no such thing as a natural signifier, that the signifier is always constructed… Yinka Shonibare, Bomb Magazine,. I recently saw a Yinka Shonibare piece,. The Age of Enlightenment Gabrielle Emilie Le Tonnelier de Bretruil. 2008), at 21C Museum. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters. So, here is the picture on which the figure is based, by Maurice Quentin de la Tour:. I normally wouldn’t have b...

William Kentridge: a moralist, but a playful one | words on art

https://wordsonart.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/william-kentridge-a-moralist-but-a-playful-one

William Kentridge: a moralist, but a playful one. May 4, 2009. Scene from The Magic Flute with design and projection by Kentridge. Image from nytimes.com. I’ve had my second visit to William Kentridge’s somewhat giant retrospective “Five Themes” at SFMOMA. Both grandiose and unassuming, comic and sublime, it’s all opera and processions and grand theater that always come back to drawing, slow and messy charcoal drawing. I’ll cover two of the five themes here. Black Box; Preparing the Flute. The work is de...
